FMG's farmer wellness programme, Farmstrong, has released the outcomes of its first survey of farming women.

The 2018 Farming Women on their Wellbeing survey used input from several groups including Dairy Women's Network, as well as from dairy farmer and dairy woman of the year winner Loshni Manikam, of Winton.

The 786 completed surveys and 26-in depth interviews outlined key issues women faced, as well as strategies they used to cope with their problems and stresses.

The survey found about 40 per cent of women felt the workload and fitting everything in had one of the biggest negative impacts on their wellbeing, while 34 per cent felt fatigued and 32 per cent felt they did not have enough time for themselves.
